The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) has teamed up with two physics organisations - the American Institute of Physics (AIP) and AVS - to offer a new subscription package. The package is available through the IEEE Xplore digital library (www.ieee.org/ieeexplore). Developed for corporations and government research centres, the AIP/AVS Applied Physics Library offers subscribers unlimited access to five journals in applied physics, including archives dating back to 1930. AVS is a technical society devoted to materials, interfaces and processing.
The new subscription will provide full-text access to more than 250,000 articles from five AIP/AVS journals that will be fully integrated into IEEE Xplore. These titles include Applied Physics Letters, Journal of Applied Physics and Review of Scientific Instruments from AIP; Journal of Vacuum Science and Technology A: Vacuum, Surfaces and Films and Journal of Vacuum Science and Technology B: Microelectronics and Nanometer Structures published by AVS.
The AIP/AVS Applied Physics Library, available via IEEE Xplore, can be purchased as a stand-alone corporate subscription or added to an existing IEEE Xplore corporate subscription. Users may also purchase individual articles from IEEE Xplore.
IEEE, AIP and AVS already have an ongoing collaboration. The magazine Computing in Science and Engineering, a joint publication of the IEEE Computer Society and AIP, has been published since 1999. It covers computational science and engineering research for a broad range of technical fields. In 2007, all three societies were active participants in launching Scitopia.org, a free, federated search portal created by various science and engineering societies.
The AIP/AVS Applied Physics Library will be available via IEEE Xplore in June 2009.
